Year 4 has been reading Michael Morpurgo’s chapter book This Morning I Met A Whale
It is based on the true story of the Thames Whale, which seems to have got lost and made its way into London up the Thames River in 2006.
The story is about a young boy named Michael, who at sunrise spots a whale on the shores of the Thames and thinks he must be dreaming. But the creature is real and brings a message for him - humans must mend the damage they are doing to the planet before it is too late. But how can Michael fulfil his promise to tell others when neither his teacher nor his classmates will believe his story?
The story is about one boy's special relationship with the whale that swam up the Thames. It also provides a powerful message about saving the environment.
